Chapter 16: His Eyes
As Naruto stood there too stunned to even acknowledge whats going on while everyone was on their edge to see if he was really going to kiss Naruto. Riku and Sora where cheering in the inside to see some good sappy and lovey moment!! Their eyes glimmering with anticipation. While the rest of rookie nine just watched wondering if this was really a dream or a hallucination. Sasuke was already about to go over there and just kick that guy's ass but the hurt in his heart that he couldn't do nothing but stare as well. He knows now that Naruto and that guy have something going on and he is just a nobody that he probably cant compare to him. He treats Naruto so caring and lovingly and yet he was the one to almost kill him in the valley. Naruto probably deserves him instead of himself.
Naruto stood there still trying to see if Leon was playing a trick or he was serious. It didn't matter which it was, here he was just standing there waiting for Leon to kiss him and he was acting like a shy little girl about to get kiss by her secret crush. Thats when he finally snapped out of it. Naruto was no school girl.
"Leon!" Naruto gritted through his teeth. He was raised a fist to grab onto Leon's shirt and punch him straight on the head. Before he could grasp all he was grab was nothing but air. He opened his eyes and had a blank look on his face. He looked right where Leon was supposed to be but found that he was nowhere near him of around him. He saw Riku and Sora standing in front of him but were looking there left side and for Naruto his right. When he went to look he saw the most frightful sight before him. There was Yuffie on top of Leon strangling him. He could also see how Leon was turning into a nice shade of blue from the lack of oxygen.
"I TOLD YOU TO KEEP AWAY FROM NIISAN!!! HE ISN'T YOURS!!!! YOU PERVERT!!! DON'T U DARE TOUCH HIM!!! YOU WILL INFECT HIM WITH WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF DISEASE!!!" she continued on while she strangled him. Naruto finally sighed and decided to stop this whole thing before she literally killed him on the spot. Taking a deep sigh he walks over to her and puts a hand onto her shoulder.
"As much as he deserves a good beat down this isn't the time." he said looking at her with a look that told her to end it now and continue later. Yuffie looked up and nodded. She got off of Leon and was now standing next to Naruto. As they both stood just looking at each other, Naruto gave her a gentle smile and ruffled her hair. They turned to head to the entrance to the tower forgetting that Leon laid there unconscious on the floor and what looked like to be his soul hovering over his body. Riku and Sora went to go recover the body and hopefully dispose of it but knowing that he wasn't dead yet their dreams died before it began.
Leon finally came back to the world of the living and was able to up hold himself. He looked around to see Naruto and Yuffie walking side by side. He also noticed that he was heading straight to the entrance to the tower but has to encounter those treacherous snakes of his haunted past. As he made his way to his side he put a smile on his face as if the acknowledgment of having to face those that has hurt Naruto so much didnt bother him at all but he knew in doing so he will be able to help Naruto even more to ignore them.
"Thanks for the save back there you have no idea how close I was on the verger of death back there." Leon put a happy smile on him and was about to put a hand on Naruto's shoulder but was slapped away by the owner himself.
"Just because I saved you doesn't mean your off the hook from the rampage of Yuffie. Also you still have to face me for what you tried to do." Naruto voice was so cold and threating one could only shutter at the sudden cold tension that surrounded them caused by Naruto. With that said they made their way pass the mass of people that just stood there like gaping fish.
No one saw it coming on how Naruto just acted towards his own team member. Here they thought that Naruto and him had a fling going on but by the sudden threat and hit they had to second guess that guess. As they stood there somewhat glad that Naruto had nothing more to do with that man but just as a team mate but they still couldn't believe that the way that just openly talked to Naruto like they were in a bedroom ready to have a show with each other. So the shocked really got them. They were passed by Naruto's group with their mouths gaping. They finally snapped out of it when they noticed nothing more but a breeze passing by as while as a tumbleweed. They turned and entered the tower and made their way to the tower. Everyone that is except for Sasuke who stood there with a hopeful glee in his eyes.
'So he isn't nothing to him but a member of his team and just a perverted guy that wants to get his kicks in with him.' As he turned to catch up with the rest of the team he caught Naruto and that guy turning the corner and that guy walking at Naruto's left side. What really got him to stop in his tracks was that he put an arm around Naurto's shoulders and leaned in ever so casually, whispering into his ear and Naruto closing his eyes and nodding his head to what he said but the way he did it was like he was filled with ecstasy from just hearing that guy's voice.
'They are just team mates... right?'
With each step he took advancing closer to the Hokage's office he couldn't help but grow angry knowing that he will be interrogated by that woman but not only that she is going to allow access to those behind stalking his every move. In Naruto's eyes he saw them as vultures waiting for the prey to finally fall down for them to swoop in for the remains. He knew all they want is to know everything that goes on in his life and he didn't want them to come any closer than they already are even though they weren't close at all but being in the same room and them thinking as if they know everything about him was what disgusted him the most. Like earlier saying that they knew and been there with his suffering which was a load of crap. They never knew how much he has suffer all those years what he lived off of. Everyday for him was another way to figure out a way to survive. Finding a way to get out of his run down apartment to get that engrossed substance they called instant noddles. The only reason he bought that was because that was the only think he could get without letting those retched villagers anything spoiled to eat or run him out of the store. Ran was the only thing safe for him to eat that they weren't able to spoil it or put something in it to poison him. He only ate ramen at the ramen stand because the owner never once shooed him away from it and never once had he fell ill eating it. Other times when he used to go out with his so called team seven whenever they picked a place other than the ramen stand whatever he ordered always caused him to fall ill the instant he engulfed it. Of course he would never say anything to his team mates thinking he might be lying just so he can get something else to eat. The pain he felt of betrayal will never come close to that day so many years ago.
Naruto felt a grip on his shoulder and didn't bother to see who else it could be since the only person walking next to him was Leon at the moment.
"You know you shouldn't worry so much. We know how to handle ourselves. Just relax and let that anger go at the moment. After this pointless meeting is over we will go get you some real food in you." Naruto couldn't help but close his eyes and took a deep breath. He knew it was pointless to go chasing after dead ghost and leave the dead where the dead should be. Though years have passed by but scapes can never truly heal. He hates it whenever he is around Leon he can show his true self but not only with him but his other team mates. They never once left him there to be left out to dry but where there to dry out with him. He couldn't help but chuckle at the humor thought to be rags hung out to dry together. With that mind he was faced with the door that belonged to the Hokage. He knocked on the door and when he heard a 'come in' he entered with his team in tow.
As he made his way in and stood right before the Hokage's desk he did his slight nod to her just to show her some respect as well did the others. As he stood there he heard the rest of the crowd scurry inside to get a good seat for the information about to get released and end the mystery people that arrived in the right moment to help Naruto out at the last minute.
"Right. Lets get this started. You remember the Headmaster from the far west" she nodded her head to the side where there stood the Headmaster with all his glory.
"Akaiwa-sama." Naruto bowed to him as did his team.
"Haha. No need for too much formality. I should be the one bowing to you for your ingenious plan you cooked up." Akaiwa said it with such admiration it was as if he was talking to a celebrity about to jump for an autograph.
"There's no need. I was just doing what needed to be done in order to keep your life intact." Naruto replied now standing and talking like he was in equal power as the Headmaster.
"There you go again being too modest but thats what I like about you honesty is such a rare thing to see these days they take in all the credit just to get their ego more of a boast. But you, your a different case a rare case." Akaiwa smiled truthfully and Naruto nodded to his comment towards him.
"So it was him that planned out all of this to fall in order." Tsunade said.
"Oh yes it was him. When you told me he was coming over to discuss the matter on hand he already arrived there getting straight to the point. He never wasted time on how the plan was going to play out. He arrived and addressed himself who he was and discussed the plan and everything and where it should go when it got dangerous for me and where to flee. It was all his doing. I am in debt with this boy here." He couldn't help but smile at him.
"I see. Well now that thats clear I guess there is nothing more for you to be here Headmaster Akaiwa." Tsunade felt sad when she heard such praise from an elite person like the Headmaster but she knew she couldn't take the credit for a ninja that didn't learn all his jutsus' he knows today but from others that are considered legends. Naruto was trained by the best out there and it wasn't because of this village it was from the others. Naruto was destined to be more and he has and beyond. Tsunade stood up and showed the Headmaster out but before the Headmaster left he gave his thanks again to Naruto and gave him hug that caught Naruto off guard. Naruto was use to praise and such but never such close contact. He akwardly gave him a pat on the back of the Headmaster not knowing how else to handle it. Once the Headmaster was gone, Tsunade then made her way to her desk and sat down and looked straight at Naruto with a look of demand wanting to know who were his guests and why he chose them for this mission.
"First off who are these strangers and why them to help you out in the most dangerous important mission?!" Yes, everyone can clearly see that the Hokage was furious and wanted to know why of all people bring outsiders to help with a mission only given to Konoha. Her voice raised towards the end of the question causing everyone in the room to flinch everyone except Naruto and his group. Naruto was about to speak when he was cut off by someone.
"I am Leon that all you need to know. My name is to remain that of a secrecy." Leon said and didn't say much.
"I am Riku and same goes with the information of the name." Riku just wanted to end this meeting as soon as possible. He could now understand why Naruto wanted to get in here and done with. This lady was annoying.
"I am Sora and nothing more." Sora in such a brief answer.
"And I am Yuffie! Big brother's little sister" She said with a proud smile on her face.
Everyone rose an eyebrow to what she said. Naruto didn't have siblings he is an only child his parents were gone when he was born and there were no time to pop out another kid but also this kid seemed to be that of only fifteen years old.
"You can't possibly be Naruto's little sister. Naruto is an only child and his parents died when he was born." Tsunade said proud of her facts. Yuffie upon hearing this out a hurt face in hearing those words. She knew she wasn't Naruto's true little sister but she was. Thats what Naruto always told her and always showed that she was his little sister always been there for her.
"Yes that is true..." Yuffie said in a sad voice. Her head lowered causing her hair to fall to her face not show her hurt face to anyone. "But that does-"
"Just because she isn't my blood doesn't make her less of my little sister. She is my little sister and those who pose against this shall meet with me and know what it means to lose something precious to their body that will be mess." His chakra was flared and was visible to the eye. They could see the chakra take shape around his body. They looked like a wild fire with such fierce flames getting big like they were getting fanned at by air.
Everyone could feel the power it held and how the chakra was being pointed towards the Hokage. They felt as if they couldn't breath or even move from the great strength that just overflowed from his body. Tsunade was worst off since the chakra was being pointed at her and no one else. Naruto's chakra caused her to struggle to breath and everything around began to blur into nothing more but blob of things but what got her more to get panicky was it seemed the chakra that was being pointed at was taking her in the depths of her fears in the back of her mind. She saw her fears flash in front of her eyes and looked around hysterically till she saw the only person standing there.
"Naruto.." she whispered. Naruto stood there with such hatred in his eyes that seemed like she was staring straight into the Kyuubi himself. When Naruto saw how panicked and scared the Hokage was he let her go from the chakra he formed only around her. As Tsunade was let back to what seemed to be her office she gasped for air like she was drowning. She coughed and grabbed the edge of her desk to get back some air into her lungs, sweat was falling from her face and she tried to compose herself to look like the leader of Konoha. As she brought her head up to meet Naruto she put on a stern face.
"What was that you just did to me?" she asked with what little bravery she had left.
"That is what I do to those that appose me. I send them in the depths of their minds to see what they most fear and lock away. My chakra formed itself around you unnoticeable to the eyes and its only you in there. I will rap this up for you. I am done playing your games not only do you insult my guest by saying they are not fit to do a mission for this idiotic village but you go insult my little sister. The reason i chose them for this mission was because I trust them and we know our fighting techniques. When we fight we read each others moves and we fight as a team. I have fought with them and have trained with them to know who is who and where their attack will strike. We can actually fight blindfolded and still read each others moves and still cover each others asses. Unlike the team you had me teamed up for that mission. They accusing me of betrayal for selling out you precious Uchiha prodigy. Now is that clear. They are my team mates I met on my travels and have been true to their words to me and haven't broken it since. This is what TRUE friends do. They are actually THERE to cover for and be THERE for you no matter how LUDACRIOUS the issue is. Now I have things to do like entertain my guests. Good day." Naruto turned and left with his team members.
Everyone could only try to process the words that Naruto just said. It was true they really haven't been good friends to him over the past years always counting on him for help but also taking advantage of that as well. Still they couldn't help but feel those words held more truth beyond why he despises them so much. They didn't have a clue to what has the blonde so flared when he said those words and they will never know until he comes out and says what it is. They know they have to dig deeper but also remember never badmouth his little sister.
"Are you alright Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked her voice holding such concern.
"Yeah. I will live but that place was dreadful I felt that I was being burned alive and I couldn't escape my from my own fears." She rubbed her forehead to try to get the sweat from falling into her eyes.
"So what should we do now? We didn't get much out of him this time and we still don't know much about his team mates other than that he is loyal to them and will leave again for them. We have to try to get more information of this new Naruto so we can live just like it was when he was here all these years ago before he left." Iruka said almost on the verge of tears on her eyes. Everyone nodded and held such sad expressions and some with even tears in there eyes.
"Yes, I know we do but just how thats the thing no one can come close to him besides those team mates of his. Them being in the picture makes things harder to get him to open up. The only thing we can do is use that to our advantage. He seems more open when he is around them his feelings and expressions are more readable. I think we should get to know his friends to get to him. They seem to know him more and maybe they can even tell us about how this Naruto really is." Tsunade said. Hoping that maybe this time it might work to get some kind of imformation. They all nodded and left to think of a way to get Naruto's new friends to get them to talk to them.
Sasuke went to think on top of the Hokage mountain. He didn't want to get to know Naruto's friends what he wanted was to get to know Naruto himself. He sighed to himself if things couldn't be helped he must do what he can needed to do to bring back his Naruto. He laid on his and watched the sky and saw some clouds roll by.
'The sky that holds the same color as is eyes'
He let himself get lulled to sleep just thinking of those eyes that were bluer than the sky itself.
